Indonesia revises digital platform laws

Indonesian's parliament passed its Amendment to the
Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law. This updates the ITE law for
the digital environment as follows:

a. A wide definition of Electronic-system organizers is
adopted to which the law applies;

c. New privacy rules, for example utilization of personal
information through electronic media requires consent. Most of the privacy
provisions however require further implementing rules.

d. Additional investigative tools such as disabling access
or collection of information and evidence from Electronic-system organizers.
There are also new criminal penalties. Interesting to IP holders will be the
offence of "Misleading information which could harm electronic-
transaction consumers" which might apply to fake goods sold online.
